At Last

Song lyrics:

This is one of the songs I heard this week that I was grateful to hear.  I think I like this version even better than the Etta James version. 

I know this is a man-woman, romance song, but for me, it always applied to my babies, too.  After nine months,  "my love has come along" meant to me that finally, I could hold and love that baby, press my cheek on his - and when he smiled, I was in heaven.

At Last by Raul Malo

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over and life is like a song, oh yeah

At last the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover the night I looked at you

I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own

I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

You smiled, you smiled and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last
